Spottitt

Spottitt is a Harwell based startup which provides self-service satellite analytics for the energy, environment and infrastructure sectors. In general, our customers need to understand the past, present, changing situation on the ground at locations all over the world, they struggle to find this information and therefore spend valuable time and resources manually gathering and manipulating said info.

Spottitt solves all these issues, via their Spottitt subscriptions our customers access up to date satellite imagery (all provide global coverage) and reliable analytics driven by our machine learning based algorithms. Our automated analyses include land cover, land roughness, building recognition, site slection and a growing number of environmental indicies for example NDVI (location and health of vegetation) and NDWI (location of water), all delivered fully automatically for any location in the world via our cloud based platform.

If we take the specific example of our onshore wind and solar energy developer clients, it takes them 6-12 months and upwards of 500,000 GBP just to choose a selection of potentially suitable sites. Spottitt has been shown to knock months and over 10% off site selection project costs.
